The War Relocation Authority managed ten camps, some with isolation centers, for individuals and families who had been removed from military "exclusion zones." All of the camps were remote; many were situated in desolate deserts or swamps.
The U.S. Department of Justice administered twenty-seven additional camps where they imprisoned enemy aliens and "dangerous persons." These included Japanese -- as well as German and Italian -- nationals from across the United States, and thousands who were deported from Central and South America. |
